Xiaomi's first electric car already has a six-month waiting list in China

Xiaomi SU7.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi revealed the production version of its hotly-anticipated SU7 electric vehicle last week. But just days after the reveal, the tech giant has reportedly told potentially customers there could be a six to seven-month wait for their order to arrive.

As a reminder, the SU7, which is manufactured by state-owned BAIC Group, is the smartphone specialist's first foray into electric vehicles, with the standard car costing just 215,900 yuan (around US$29,900 / £23,663 / AU$46,000 at current exchange rates). It offers 435-miles of range and just shy of 300bhp from its electric powertrain.
